It’s Classic
If you have never watched the show Frasier then you have either been actively avoiding great sitcoms, or you were born in the 2000’s. Either way you should start watching it, all 11 seasons are available on Netflix, or you can pull them up on Hulu, YouTube..I’m sure you can figure something out. C’mon a show does not last eleven seasons if it stinks. Frasier gave us everything from comedy, to romance and forbidden love, to tear jerking moments, and even an adorable dog. Where else can you find all of that these days, along with such a great cast of characters? I mean you have a gay man, playing a straight man, who everyone thinks is gay, but he’s really straight..phew! (Did you follow that?) For those fans of the show they know I am talking about none other then (David Hyde Pierce) who played the incontrovertible star of the show “Niles”. I know, I know, it’s called Frasier, so don’t get confused, or get me wrong, he is the “main” character, and the show would be nothing without him, but let’s face it, “Niles” stole the show. “Frasier” (Kelsey Grammer) gave us the lovable, pompous grinch that made us wince in embarrassment, as he made declarations of his own greatness, usually while making a fool of himself. Don’t forget, he went to Harvard ya know.
Another one of my favorite characters is papa Crane, “Marty” (John Mahoney) who brings such comic timing while portraying a true father figure. The kind that sill strikes fear in his middle aged children’s hearts when they know they have done something wrong. And who can forget the maid… whoops I mean Martin’s home healthcare worker, “Daphne” (Jane Leeves) the object of Niles affection. Along with this great cast of people comes one great canine, “Eddie” played by a few different Jack Russel’s over the course of the show, with some snazzy tricks and big brown puppy eyes he brought lots of laughter and love to the series. There are so many episodes that will have your sides splitting and below is a snippet from one of my favorites, among many others, I hope you enjoy!
